pairing and sharing, and can sample a new menu of handcrafted
dishes created each week in the display kitchen. During
Summer the herb garden provides a beautiful background for
dining al fresco. A little more laid back, the Bunnell-Newhouse
Tasting Studio invites you to pull up a barstool and prepare
for some serious wine tasting. It's located in the Woodinville
wine warehouse district and like the wine bar, showcases wines
made by Ron Bunnell for both the Bunnell Family labels and
Newhouse Family Vineyards. The tasting selections at both
locations change monthly.
Wine flights at Bunnell's tasting rooms and bistro feature primarily
vineyard designated wines that show off Washington's dynamic
terroir. At Wine o'Clock, half a dozen curated flights comprise
the ever-changing offerings, including "Surfeit of Syrahs" and
"Game of Rhônes." Visitors experience the differences created
by the diverse microclimates and AVAs of Washington State.
It's always fun, and always flavorful. Oenophiles can take a trip
back in time, thanks to a Coravin system which offers access
to an extensive library dating back to 2004. This allows tasters
to explore how the wines from the Bunnell Family change and
develop over time.
